Description
Excerpt from The Arabian Antiquities of Spain
Two rows of columns, about six feet in height, rise one above another, and support the screen before this Sanctuary. The columns are chiefly of verd antique, or red marble veined with white; the pilasters are of red or white marble; and the capitals are of white marble, gilt in many places. The arabesques and other ornaments of the timber-work of the roof, as well as those of the pilasters, are very fine, and bear a great resemblance to the sculptures in the Alhamra at Granada.
